This article provides an overview of hospital-based rates of caesarean delivery in 18 Arab countries and the association between these rates and selected demographic and socioeconomic characteristics. Data on caesarean section were based on 2 of the most recent national hospital-based surveys in each country and on published studies based on hospital samples. High levels of caesarean delivery were found in Egypt (26% in 2003), followed by Sudan (20% in 1993). Six countries and the West Bank area of Palestine had rates >15% and 11 countries and Gaza had rates between 5% and 15%. The findings indicate an increasing trend of caesarean section delivery in the region. Policies aiming at reducing surgical deliveries should seek to identify and address these risk factors.
本文概述了18个阿拉伯国家基于医院的剖宫产率，以及这些比率与选定的人口和社会经济特征之间的关联。剖宫产数据基于每个国家最近的两项基于医院的全国性调查，以及基于医院样本的已发表研究。埃及的剖宫产率较高（2003年为26%），其次是苏丹（1993年为20%）。六个国家和巴勒斯坦西岸地区的剖宫产率>15%，11个国家和加沙地区的剖宫产率在5%至15%之间。研究结果表明该地区剖宫产率呈上升趋势。旨在减少手术分娩的政策应设法识别并解决这些风险因素。
